Monday Marked the Start of 20 Hours for the Cards—Here’s What They’ll Be Focused On

March 17 kicked off the first official 20-hour week for the Cards, and with a fresh season ahead, the team is dialing in on key areas of improvement.

1. Serve Receive – The Battle for the Bro Spot

With Elena Scott gone, the Cards’ libero competition is heating up. The backcourt is looking for its next leader in serve receive, and the battle for the bro jersey will be one to watch. Consistency, composure, and first-ball contact will be crucial as players vie for the role.

2. Middles Running Slides Again in a 5-1 System

With the shift back to a 5-1 offense, the Cards' middles are working to refine their slide attack—something that could add another dimension to their offense. Timing, connection with the setter, and transition footwork will be key as they get comfortable in this system.

3. Serving – Filling Big Shoes Behind the Line

The departure of power servers Anna DeBeer, Charitie Luper, and Elena Scott leaves a void in the Cards' aggressive serving game. Finding new weapons from the service line will be a priority, as the team looks to maintain the same level of pressure that defined their serving last season.
